中新社台北3月22日电 台当局经济事务主管部门22日召开电价费率审议会，决定4月1日起调涨电价，平均涨幅为11%，调整后电价为平均每度3.45元新台币。
电价上涨的消息传出后，台湾民众和企业界均表示关切。对于普通家庭而言，电价上涨无疑会增加日常开支，而对于工商业者来说，能源成本的上升可能会导致生产成本的增加，进而影响产品的市场竞争力。
台湾电价的上一次调整是在2022年10月，当时平均涨幅为8.4%。此次电价再次上涨，主要是由于国际能源价格持续波动，以及台当局推动能源转型过程中面临的挑战。
台经济事务主管部门表示，尽管电价上涨会对民众生活和企业经营造成一定影响，但这也是为了实现能源转型和稳定供电的必要措施。部门还承诺，将采取措施减轻对低收入家庭的影响，并协助企业提高能源效率，以减轻电价上涨带来的负担。

TAIPEI, March 22 (Xinhua) — Taiwan’s competent economic affairs authority announced on Wednesday that it will raise electricity prices by an average of 11 percent starting from April 1, with the revised rate set at an average of NT$3.45 per kilowatt-hour.
The decision, made at a meeting of the Electricity Rate Review Committee, comes amid fluctuating international energy prices and challenges in Taiwan’s transition to renewable energy.
The last adjustment to electricity prices in Taiwan was in October 2022, when rates went up by an average of 8.4 percent.
The authority acknowledged that the price hike could put additional burdens on households and businesses, but emphasized that it is a necessary step for achieving energy transformation and ensuring stable power supply.
The department also pledged to mitigate the impact on low-income families and to assist businesses in improving energy efficiency to lessen the burden of higher electricity costs.
